Please read over the exciting schedule below, and see yourself participating with many of the nation's top street performers, on the streets of Las Vegas, and at the Las Vegas Renaissance Festival. In these three days and four nights, you will have a wide array of magical experiences awaiting you. Jeff has made special arrangements for all of us to attend the Las Vegas Renaissance Festival and to be part of the festivities. Jeff will also teach you many of his favorite street magic routines. Students will also get to perform in Ultra Modern Las Vegas Street Magic locations. Jeff McBride studied street magic with master of the art, Jeff Sheridan. Mr. Sheridan literally wrote the book on street magic, and taught many of his skills to Jeff McBride. Now you will have an opportunity to have these inner secrets of the street performers available to you.
Special guest street performers will join us for lectures and workshops, to teach us the tricks of their trades! Events will include workshops, shows, lectures and small group sessions.
Special evening events include a welcome to Las Vegas party at Jeff McBride's House of Mystery, and an optional Drum & Fire Magic Circle on one of the evenings at the Renaissance Faire.
